A man lost a leg in the war, and of course, walked with a limp . But he was afraid that it would limit his possibilities for finding a wife, and also, for finding work, if people knew he had a wooden leg, so he never made a full disclosure about his injury, and he just explained his limp by saying it was an old bullet wound.

He eventually met a girl, fell in love, and got married, but never had the courage to admit to his new wife he had a wooden leg, and so there he was, on his wedding night, in bed - so he finally forced himself to reveal his disability.

He said to his bride, "this is very difficult, but I must admit something I have been keeping a secret."

So he reached over, held her hand, and placed it on his wooden leg. She felt around for a few seconds, then, rapped her knuckles on the leg, and after a few more seconds said "well, grease it up - we'll give it a try."
